When Yao Tongjia got home, she overheard Xiao Gengwu and Ruan Shengpeng talking about Zhou Lan. She sat down and listened in.
According to the current investigation, Zhou Lan is quite unlucky because the Zhou family's situation is getting worse and worse. She is anxious to get married and inevitably gets anxious when she sees a high-quality man.
The man works at a newspaper as a reviewer and editor. He is said to be very famous for his articles and earns a very good income.
More importantly, this person is said to come from a very good family. As for how good, no one knows, but people outside are saying that his family is very well-off.
The fact that the family had a good background made Zhou Lan want to get close to them. In the Zhou family, whether it was a man or a woman, they had to marry someone from a good family.
Just look at Zhou Kunran, and you'll know that he, a man, can't resist the power of his family, let alone Zhou Lan, a woman!
She finally found a high-quality man, and of course she tried her best to meet his requirements. For example, he wanted to sleep on a better mattress but didn't want to go out to buy one, so Zhou Lan did it for him.
They were very generous, giving her twice the amount she paid for the mattress. As for the bed sheets, Zhou Lan said she didn't know anything about them; she only bought the mattress.
Yao Tongjia had already heard from Xiao Gengwu that the bed sheet was cherry blossom-patterned and very clean. Yao Tongjia casually remarked, "Cherry blossom... could he be from Japan? Or is this man hiding a woman behind him?"
These words stirred something in Ruan Shengpeng's heart. Based on the clues provided by Zhou Lan, they had caught a man, but the man confessed too quickly and offered no excuses.
If this is the enemy agent lurking here, then this enemy agent is too useless. He confessed to the crime before even being tortured, but he made up a bunch of nonsense about what he did to him!
Ruan Shengpeng felt that the person behind this man was definitely not him; perhaps he was just a smokescreen. In the past few days, he had been arresting people based on the clues provided by this man.
But they hadn't found anyone. The guy said he couldn't just not send people out, so he kept sending people out to search, which made Ruan Shengpeng feel a little irritable.
He Lao had already told him that Xiao Gengwu had given him all the credit, and that he was about to be promoted to commander-in-chief at this critical juncture.
If this matter isn't resolved, it's unlikely he'll get a promotion. Even if he does get promoted, he won't feel at ease.
He needs to finish this matter as soon as possible so that he can move up in the ranks. But as they say, the more anxious you are, the worse you do things, which perfectly describes his current state.
Ruan Shengpeng took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He knew he had lost his composure. It didn't matter if he didn't see hope before, but once he had hope, he naturally wanted to move forward!
He was about to make history and become the youngest Commander-in-Chief in history. He would surely leave his name in the history of China. How could he not yearn for this?
But he really couldn't continue down this path of chaos. If he did, someone would find something to use against him, and he would drift further and further away from the position he wanted!
Xiao Gengwu raised a question: "This person works at the newspaper, and is responsible for reviewing manuscripts. He is relatively simple in his interpersonal relationships. Does he have frequent contact with anyone in private?"
Ruan Shengpeng shook his head: "It is said that this person is rather dull. He doesn't talk to others much in the office and has a very distant relationship with the people in the office."
As soon as they heard he had been arrested, his workplace immediately fired him, and not a single person spoke up for him!
Yao Tongjia thought for a moment and asked, "What about the neighbors?"
Ruan Shengpeng shook his head: "He's like this in the office. He's like he's never home. They say he never even makes a sound!"
Not even a sound was made? That's impossible. A person living alone would definitely make noise, unless they didn't live there at all!
He doesn't live there? Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongjia exchanged a glance: "Dad, let's go check on him at his house, let's go!"
Ruan Shengpeng understood, and the three of them ran out the door, called two guards, and drove off! When Yao Yanxin finished cooking and came out, there was no one there.
Yao Yanxin could only go to Xiao Yan's place to pick up Xiaobuding: "I don't know where the three of them went. I finished cooking and when I looked, they were all gone!"
Xiao Yan was also puzzled: "A guard just came and called my husband away. Did something happen?"
Yao Yanxin shook her head: "I don't know about them. Little Pudding, let's go back for dinner."
When Little Pudding heard Grandma calling, she quickly packed up her toys: "Auntie, you don't know how to play with these toys, I'm taking them away."
Xiao Yan: "..."
Seeing Little Pudding walk away, Xiao Yan comforted her daughter, "Dandan, it's okay if you don't know how to play with the toys. Mom will make some toys that you like!"
Xiao Dan looked up at her mother and asked, "Why do you think I don't know how to play?"
Xiao Yan was speechless: "Then why haven't I seen you playing with the toys your brother made for you?"
"Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I can't play with it. Besides, those are toys that Little Pudding plays with. I'm her aunt. Would it be beneath me to play with them?"
Xiao Yan was at a loss. She was just worried about damaging her child's self-esteem, but it seemed like she had worried for nothing. And how come kids these days are so good at talking?
Xiao Dan is only 5 years old, but she looks so old-fashioned, like she's a teenager!
However, Xiao Yan was relieved. As long as the child was alright, that was all that mattered. Seeing how quick-witted her daughter was, she realized that she didn't need to worry about her anymore, since she had only said one sentence and her daughter had already prepared several more.
Since Xiao Dan was able to go to the maternity ward, she went to work in the medical room. There were two people who were not going to work because they were having babies, so she picked them up when she went there, so she didn't have to trouble Ruan Shengpeng to make arrangements for her!
Xiao Yan is a medical school graduate and has been working in this profession for a long time. Working in the medical room is really as easy as it gets.
She leaves work on time every day to pick up her child. Even if she is occasionally delayed, she has her good friend Yao Yanxin to help her. Even when Eagle Eye Man goes out on a mission, she goes directly to the Ruan family's house for dinner!
Before, when it was just Yao Yanxin and Ruan Shengpeng at home, they were very happy together. However, Xiao Yan's arrival made Ruan Shengpeng very unhappy!
Fortunately, Little Pudding came along later. Anyway, it didn't matter if there was one more person in the family, or even two more. Ruan Shengpeng seemed very calm about Xiao Yan's arrival.
However, no matter how well Hawkeye takes care of himself, his physical agility is declining, and his chances of going on missions are much lower. In addition, the two elderly people from the Xiao family often come to stay.
Xiao Yan was too embarrassed to bring so many people over, so she had to cook for herself. Fortunately, it was allowed to hire people to do chores these days.
Xiao Yan, of course, did not hesitate to ask a military wife who was struggling financially to help with cleaning and cooking two meals a day. This freed her from the things she hated!
